House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is criticizing Biden for endangering the American economy by failing to negotiate the debt ceiling, with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) also asking for negotiations.
“The Senate’s done nothing,” McCarthy said in an April 27 interview with Bloomberg. “They haven’t done anything on the debt ceiling, and the president’s ignored this problem.” The House Speaker criticized Biden for placing the U.S. economy in “jeopardy” by refusing to negotiate the debt ceiling issue. The last time the two met to discuss the matter was on Feb. 1. McCarthy said that only House Republicans were serious about preventing a U.S. debt default.
